I'm 15, I turn 16 in January. So all the words I attempt to read, I have to think about first. I can't change it. This is making me read slower. And added to that, I think about words before I say them and I say something different. It's embarrassing. And I stutter. So whenever I read, it's really difficult. Reading in my head is also kinda difficult. I have to reread stuff because I missed it. I used to love reading when I was in 5th grade and now I can't even read cause it's difficult.

Instead of looking at one word at a time, look at two words. That forces you to stop talking to yourself, so you are no longer limited to reading as fast as you can talk. You probably talk about 100 words per minute (WPM). The average college graduate reads 300 WPM. Just by looking at two words at a time you can double your reading speed. Then by looking at a whole line at a time you can read much faster. The big benefit is that your memory expands along with your reading speed so you can remember the large volume of information you are taking in. With a little practice it is possible to read an entire page in two seconds with near total recall of the information on it.
